Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Trijicon scopes

Does anyone have any opinions on trijicon scopes? How do they compare to leupold and vortex?

Which Trijicon vs which Vortex and Leupold? All three makes make several levels of scopes.

Accupoint 2.5x10x56 vs

Vortex viper,
Vortex razor
Leupold 5hd

How does a $780 trificon stack up?

Well, according to europtic the trijicon is more like $650.....

Would you hit it?

The last four scopes I bought were Trijicons; two Accupoint 3-9x40, one Credo HX 2.5-10x56, and one Credo HX 1-6x24.

I like them. Don’t dial with the rifles they’re on, but pretty sure I could at need. Excellent quality for the price IMO. Good reticles for their intended use.

I don't know how they compare, but my next scope will be a Trijicon.

How bright is the illumination on the Credo HX 1-6x24? Is it daylight usable?

Just looked out the window with mine (15:00). It’s cloudy bright and at setting 6 (of 10) I can clearly see the red dot against the grass and the Western sky. Lots more on tap. Mine has the Hunter Holds Sport reticle. Right now, 5 is good in the shade.

Can’t hardly believe the vortex was asked in the same breath as a leupold good advertising I guess
Everyone I know personally had them fail
The running joke I if you buy vortex the come with a great warranty... your gona need it!!!
Never bothered trying one myself. If I buy a scope it must be usa made. A few of scopes came to me on used guns and have been fine bu anything I hunt with has a gold ring on it

This past weekend I zeroed two new Trijicon scopes, a 2.5-15x42 Credo on my Cooper 92 280AI and a Tenmile 4-24x50 on a Bergara B14 Ridge. Both adjusted spot on. Will stretch their legs to 500 and back in a couple weeks.

I have a Trijicon Credo 34mm 1-8x mil-mil on an AR. It's heavy but a great fit for what I do.

I've owned Trijicons every model for over 15 years have never had a problem with any of them have never sent one for repair.....most are on large bore rifles.....
All my Leopold's have been sent down the road....got tired sending 3-6 a year to get repaired......

The only Trigicon I have any experience with is a 1-4x24 Huron which I put on a Ruger MPR.

I find the glass to be excellent. Clicks are positive, and it holds zero while bouncing around in the truck and SXS. I like the simplicity of the reticle also.

FWIW, I'm waiting on a new 5.56 upper from WOA and am considering going with the ATHLON ARES ETR 1-10x FFP IR on that one.....

I've got the previous iteration (Accupower) on a similar rig, and agree that it's a great fit for my uses.

I am using my first Accupoint 2.5-10x56 this year with the plex reticle/amber dot. I really like the glass. I’ve not used it yet at very last light with cloud cover in the woods. But, the glass is on par with scopes costing more and is better than scopes in its price range. Two things I don’t like: eye relief is too short for magnum calibers and the illumination supposedly only lasts 15 years.

I’d say the glass quality is between a Conquest and Victory but better than the V4 if comparing to Zeiss.

I like it better than the VX-3i I owned. I have no experience with Vortex.

The Credo (HX in my case) gives you more control over the illumination, a lot of control really, at the cost of needing a battery and potentially trouble down the road with the electronics. If that control is really important, then for me the choice is simple. After a lot of shuckin’ and jivin’, I got the 1-6, for my low-power model. Saves a good bit of weight and the difference in eye-relief between 1 and 6 is minimal, which I like. The 1-8 doesn’t give more adjustment with the big tube either. Still, I’d like to look through one someday.

The Credo 2.5-10 is a beast too. I’m still pondering where its final resting place will be. Very nice view for sure.

I have a few accupoints and I think the optics are very clear. One is at least 8 years old and the triangle illumination is still good. I have Zeiss and swaros, leupolds, would not hesitate to recommend a Trij.

I have proven to my own satisfaction that the fiber optics carry the load as far as illumination goes in the Accupoints. As long as there’s any skylight, the light is on. I’ve yet to carry one afield, so don’t know how it works in dark timber and/or overcast. As I said, if the illumination is crucial, I’d go with the battery-powered models. Since they’re newer, perhaps the coatings are better, perhaps not. Not sure how much the coatings figure in an optics design, so don’t know if they can just use new ones on old scopes without other changes.

I'll add having used my accupoints on a bear stand until dark, the triangle illumination does fade with fading light but is still more visible than a black reticle against a black target. Going for bear to Maine pretty soon and I'll be toting a rifle with a Trij.
